hunter rain boots

Do you not immediately think of Warrant’s Sweet Cherry Pie when you see this cardi… because I do! I should of put this look as a Week O’Nautical outfit (see here) but I didn’t get around to it, but I’m still loving this Americana look from the Seaside Gardens Collection! (see here)

Spring rain hit us hard and I was ready for it! A cute cardigan is definitley the solution to spring weather. This Avon Felicity Cardigan in Cherry print brightens up a rainy day. (sidenote: it also comes in navy, white and red). A spring layer is almost as necessary as keeping that umbrella around!

Winter has me currently crushing on all things apres ski (as seen here). With my upcoming winter weekend trip I’m planning and pinning so many ski prints. Ski prints range from fair isle to plaid and everything in-between. Basically, all you winter favorites fit for a chalet!

Avon Zoey Knit Vest

I picked up this Avon Zoey Knit Vest from the Southwest Capsule Collection. It technically is an Aztec print, but by pairing it with winter pieces it reads ski print. It all comes from native prints which are all very similar.

Wrap Belt Tied In The Back!

For winter wear, I layered the Avon Zoey Knit Vest and tied the wrap belt in the back so it give is a little different shape. Layering over a black turtleneck, Avon Sloan Turtleneck in black, lets the vest be the statement piece.

Layer A Knit Vest For Winter Wear

It wouldn’t be winter wear without some boots! These glossy black Hunter boots are staples for me in the winter. I find them be so comfortable and they work better than any boot to keep out the wet, plus they are fashion friendly!

Winter Staple: Hunter Boots

Even though I am in mild weathered California, I still find a need for warm winter pieces. Especially for weekend trips to snowy Tahoe! Which is why I’m super excited of my pearl embellished knit hat find from Charming Charlie! Perfect winter piece to go with a casual winter look.

Peal Hats and Statement Earrings

Apres Ski is by definition the party after skiing, so what makes this look more apres ski than a sparkly statement earring!? This Avon Looped Linear Earrings glams up an otherwise super causal and functional outfit.

Layer on the ski prints!

I think I definitely found a good look to pack for my Tahoe weekend, along with wearing it all winter long! You can get my vest, turtleneck and earrings at http://www.youravon.com/aliciahessinger which would also qualify you for the newest A Box! (see more here).

We definitely had some April showers this weekend, which I wasn’t hating on. It gave me a chance to depart from my LBD and wear some seriously comfy casual pieces this week.

Layered Rain Gear

As the girl scouts say, always be prepared. I definitely came prepared with my rain gear and layered essentials. I paired really comfy black jeggings (Express) with this (old) mark. layered sweatshirt, layered with this (old) mark. anorak. What better way to be prepared than with some Hunters and a cute umbrella from Kate Spade!? Sidenote on Hunters: I hate to say it, they’re actually worth the price. They’re seriously the most comfortable functional shoe I own, and keep you dry without freezing your feet.
